Glass is generally more durable than ceramic. This is due to its inherent properties and manufacturing processes. Glass is a non-crystalline amorphous solid, which means it lacks the long-range order found in crystalline materials. This amorphous structure contributes to its high tensile strength and resistance to scratching. According to a study by the American Ceramic Society, glass has a tensile strength of up to 100 MPa, while ceramic materials typically range from 50 to 200 MPa. Additionally, glass is less brittle than ceramic, which means it can withstand greater stress before fracturing. For instance, ceramic tiles are prone to cracking under heavy loads, whereas glass can maintain its integrity under similar conditions. These factors make glass a more durable choice for applications requiring resistance to wear and tear.
